Let's say I go pickup my Palm. I go to LOG. One of the four things I've elected to view is SECONDARY FLAG. The Palm will show a quater of the display with SECONDARY FLAG and in that quarter of the display, down at the left bottom of that square will be OFF/OFF.

So now we go drive the car. We step on the pedal above 3500rpm and OFF/OFF changes to OFF/ON. Ok. The secndarys came on. That's nice. So now we let off the pedal and let the rpms drop way down to 2000rpm. We still have a display of OFF/ON.

Nothing EVER shows up in the large section of the SECONDARY FLAG. Ever.

So I'm saying I've a *problem* with the OFF/ON never changing back to OFF/OFF and a problem with nothing ever showing up in the large section of the SECONDARY FLAG ..ever. Seems just a big X or such would help a person know when the secondays came on and the big X disappearing when they are not on.

Just the small OFF/OFF at the bottom of the SECONDARY FLAG display seems lacking. What do you think?

I especially dislike the display going to OFF/ON and never returning to OFF/OFF. And NO, having to reset the display each time by resetting the high/low does not cut it with me.

 

The small off/off display at the bottom is just like all the other displays, Its the min/max values. Since the lowest can only be "off" and the highest can only be "on" then after you hit the secondary staging point, it will always say "off/on" until you hit the min/max reset button.

I will look into the main part of the screen never saying anything.

 

Thanks. The main part of the screen is what I'm mostly interested in. I tried two different cars (Two different RTEK) and the results are the same. The only thing in common is I now have but one Palm. The other bit the dust. I THINK it got left in direct sunlight in a closed RX last summer and over temp'd the display screen.

I was wondering if anybody else, when looking at that particular display, sees the same as I or ???? something else displayed on the main part of that screen.

 

What Palm do you have again? And what version of the logger software are you running?

 

Looking at the code, I think you are right, the secondary flag will not display anything in the "big number" mode. It should display fine when displaying the smaller numbers. I'll fix it for the next release.

 

Thank you.
